In this study, it is
aimed that to determine some water quality properties of
Faraz Stream which passes through the forestland of
Kızılcadağ located within Sivas Province boundaries and
joins into Tozanlı stream located within the boundaries of
Sivas Province Hafik District, supplying 4-5 villages water
requirements around. Water quality parameters, dissolved
oxygen (DO), salinity, pH, temperature and electrical
conductivity (E.İ) was measured directly in the field with
the help of devices. Other water parameters as suspended
solids (TSS), chemical oxygen demand (COD), total
alkalinity, total hardness, total ammonium nitrogen,
nitrite, nitrate, ammonia, phosphate, sulfate, sulfite, free
chlorine, sodium, magnesium, calcium, iron, lead, copper and
cadmium are analyzed on the same day by bringing the water
samples to the lab. In this performing study for Faraz
Stream, which is one of the most important streams
consisting of the Tozanlı Stream, water quality of the
stream is followed by physico-chemical methods during a
year, variation of water quality data recorded month by
month, evaluated and discussed in terms of aquaculture and
aimed to the creation of the data source which will be held
in the future for research.
